Life of Mine

The Perfect Weekend

This weekend was perfect in every way.  We spent the entire weekend together, as a family.  We didn’t do anything that was necessary..meaning, we did what we wanted, when we wanted. 

Yesterday, the weather was absolutely perfect, not too hot and not rainy or windy.  The kids and I swam, Chuck mowed the grass and we just relaxed.  I cooked hot dogs on the grill for dinner.  There was minimal fighting between the kids.  It couldn’t get any better!

Today, we slept in and as Chuck and I were laying in bed watching Wall E, he suggested we surprise the kids and go to the zoo.  We all love the zoo.  The weatherman mentioned possible rain and we figured that it would just rain because every single time we go to the zoo, it rains.  I mean every.single.time.  We are okay with that though because we are used to it.  It did rain a little bit but it didn’t ruin our day.  I got some fabulous pictures while we were there and I will include some at the end of this post.  It was Gorilla Day at the zoo so they had some special events or activities surrounding the gorilla theme.  There was a great storyteller there, face painting, a chalk artist drawing gorillas on the sidewalk, etc. 

We renewed our membership to the zoo. We plan on going back in about  a month for Lincoln’s second birthday so by that second visit, the membership fee pays for more than itself.  

I hope everyone else had a great weekend.  Tomorrow starts a new week.  This coming week includes: my finding out whether I got the new job or not (tomorrow!), more workouts that will include more spinning since some of the classes I love are not offered right now due to an awful injury my friend got, some shopping and hopefully more relaxing.
